🚨 | BREAKING: #ManCity CEO Ferran Soriano has addressed staff over the guilty verdicts, insisting the club will fight through every available legal avenue:
“The whole Premier League case against us is based on a single false accusation.”
America will never be a serious footballing nation! 😂
A little kid is so good at football that the other kids’ parents called the police on him!
Someone get Hugo Viana on the phone. City need to sign this little baller!
🗣️. @bethTmufc on Michael Carrick being United manager:
“The air feels fresher. The water feels cleaner.” 😂
Michael Carrick deserves a new long-term contract at Man United.
A genuine football genius. Give him another five years to finish what he’s started! 👏
#ManCity lose, still TOP of the League.
Man United lose, drop to 16th. 😭😂
Levels to this game!
Manchester United are 3-0 down to Bournemouth at Old Trafford! 😭😂
Not a football club anymore, just a weekly comedy show with a massive wage bill! 🍿
🎙️ Unai Emery when asked about Manchester City’s charges:
“It’s football. Football. Football. I can answer about football!”
Fair play to Emery. He came to talk about the match, not the off-field noise. 👏
📅 #ManCity’s next FIVE fixtures:
🏆 Brighton (H), Carabao Cup
🏟️ Brighton (H), Premier League
⭐ RB Leipzig (A), Champions League
🏟️ Nottingham Forest (A), Premier League
🏟️ Fulham (H), Premier League
Time to bounce back after the Villa defeat!
Maresca is still figuring out his best midfield. Today, Bouaddi, Anderson and Cherki/Enzo might have been a better combination.
It’s only October, and the international break seems to have disrupted our rhythm.
This is a young team. Maresca needs time with these players, and they’ll only get better.
📊 Gianluigi Donnarumma received a 4.90 rating against Villa, the LOWEST of his senior career across AC Milan, PSG and #ManCity.
His five lowest ratings:
❌ 4.90 vs Aston Villa
❌ 5.00 vs Udinese
❌ 5.01 vs Clermont Foot
❌ 5.22 vs Le Havre
❌ 5.23 vs Lille

🚨 Enzo Maresca on Matheus Nunes’ fitness:
“Matheus could be available for the next game.”
A potential boost for #ManCity ahead of the Carabao Cup clash against Brighton!
We can’t blame Maresca for today’s defeat. He coached a win, but individual mistakes from Guéhi and Donnarumma cost us.
We missed THREE big chances, hit the woodwork twice and created more than enough to win.
The performance wasn’t perfect, but we should never have lost that game.
Maresca got the Ndiaye substitution wrong today.
Ndiaye was causing Villa problems with his pace and directness, yet he was taken off for McAidoo. A strange decision when we were chasing the game.
How many BIG chances are we going to keep missing? 🤦♂️
Aston Villa: 2 shots on target, 2 goals.
Man City: 7 shots on target, 3 big chances missed and hit the woodwork TWICE!
15 shots, 1.79 xG and 53 touches in Villa’s box.
We created enough to win this game. Our finishing let us down!
How on earth is #ManCity’s starting XI being leaked a full day before the game?
Surely the club needs to investigate where these leaks are coming from. It’s getting ridiculous!
Thoughts on Aston Villa 2-1 #ManCity:
- Another costly error from Guéhi
- Donnarumma poor again
- Toothless in attack
- Maresca got his substitutions wrong
- Anderson, Fernández and Cherki all poor
- Midfield lacked control and creativity
- Too slow moving the ball forward
- Poor decision-making in the final third
- Defensive mistakes becoming a concern
